Bedabots

Intermission: Eclipse (Public)

Update time!

As was mentioned in the Delay notice by Tinkering Turian,
During most of April (and a week into May) I've been obsessively distracted with finishing a project unrelated to Bedabots.

Eclipse started out as a private commission during the launch of the Bedabots Kickstarter,
which I then put on pause for about a year, which caused unshakable, mounting feelings of guilt and frustration.
Ambitions were raised as I kept working on her and the scope got out of...

Intermission: Eclipse

Uploaded images above consist of Eclipse's 7 variations (2560 ×1440).
Check the zip file in attachments to access all of the different resolutions and Mobile versions.

I was intending to make a few more variants with different hair colors,
but all of my motivation to work on her has been spent.
I hope that these will still satisfy.

I've decided to write up the full report on the public post this time,
so make sure to check that out for more info,
or feel free...

⚠️ Delay notice ⚠️

The next update will be delayed. More information in this Kickstarter post. Our deepest, sincere apologies.

AAP: 04-11.2024 Recap (Public)

Warmest greetings!
Himokone here!
Based on community feedback, and some of my own concerns.
I've decided to start making public Art asset progress posts,
so that everyone can get at-least a surface-level view of how the development on Bedabots is progressing (At-least on the art-side of things)

The art serves a big role in Bedabots,
if there's an update-draught, that's usually due to me being the bottleneck.
The more progress made on the art, the sooner the updat...

Art asset progress update- November 2024

Good day!

For this month's progress update,
I've decided to record a video!
Check it!: https://bedabots.com/video/Art_asset_progress_11.2024.mp4

A lot of this month's work was mostly technical stuff,
So I decided that a video showing a deeper look behind the curtain
would be more interesting!
Pardon all the "ummm"...

Art asset progress: September

Now that we've caught-up a bit with the previous post,
let's dig into what was done this September!

1.The 3D model and 2D sprites for the apartment are complete!
I had hoped that this task would take about two weeks, but it ended up taking four!?
The workflow of creating characters and furniture is a bit different, so I had to spend a bit of time wrapping my head around how to approach the apartment.
Regardless, I think it turned out pretty well!
With this setup, I ...

Hello!
Himokone here!
I've decided to take-up the task of posting art updates from now on!

I'll do my best to make monthly update posts, where I'll describe what I've been up to,

For Mintai Merchant's and Socialites, I'll be including some files in the attachmen...

A cat is fine, too

Shockitty's going to be very apprehensive and scared when she is first purchased. Himo is a big man, compared to her tiny frame. Him trying to appear nice and kind isn't helping one bit, making him look like a creep more than anything! A finished version of this work-in-progress will be available in the upcoming mini-update to the demo, coming towards the end of this month. We hope you'll like it!

What's going on?

Hello, everyone! Sorry for our lack of communication on Patreon. We've been very busy the past two months, concepting the second chapter of Bedabots. Today, we're finally implementing the Patreon bot to the Bedabots server, so that Patrons can get their just rewards.

Furthermore, as a thank you to everyone who supported the project early, we'll be granting all of you a special place in the credits. We'll be a bit more active on this platform from now on, with at least monthly updates on...

What is Bedabots?

Bedabots is a unique take on the not-safe-for-work visual novel genre, currently in development. You can find a playable demo on the website. The story is beautifully rendered in a large amount of expertly drawn, full-sized comic pages, which appear panel-per-panel as the narration progresses. The game tells the thrilling tale of a young adult named Himo Kone, moving from his rural farm home to a futuristic mega-city where attractiv...
